work yet to be done

Another teacher goes into space.

That means a lot to me, for reasons that don't really translate well. At least not yet. But I have never forgotten watching that shuttle go up, and explode into sparkling fragments and smoke. How we were sent home early from school, and the horrified sound of my teacher's voice behind me, saying "Oh God." All those years, all those sci-fi novels and all those dreams of the universe beyond our atmosphere.

Well,shit happens.Things blow up.Before we get to the point where "Star Trek" happens,a lot more people are probably going to have to die.Or we could just stay home.
Myself,personally,you couldn't pay me enough to go into space.

It's strange, the things you remember.
Space terrifies me, but I would love to go.
